To set one, just drag and drop the according note there.īesides referral and tracking links, here’s what I else I keep there: I call these chunks ‘pastables’ and most of them live as shortcuts in my sidebar. If you’re a designer, maybe they’re vector icons, and if you’re a programmer, you can save snippets of code.
If you’re a marketer, those might be referral links, a recurring blog post footer, or common phrases of copy. If the majority of your work involves using a computer, which, chances are, it does, you will inevitably find yourself copying and pasting certain chunks of information on a regular basis. That’s a good thing, especially for tidbits you use over and over again. Less to search, but more granular filtering, means faster recall. Second, Evernote makes all text searchable, even the writing in images, URLs, website title tags, and notes you’ve added yourself.
First, you limit the pool of information you have to comb through, because it’s all data you’ve previously selected. There are two advantages of this system over standard bookmarks in your browser, saving PDFs, or straight googling. Under ‘View’ you can choose how you want your notes and their content to be displayed. Here are four ways you can use Evernote to free space in your mind and become more efficient at organizing and retrieving information. It’s an external brain with shortcuts to the data I need most often and a cave I can retreat into when I need to think. Over the past four years, I’ve built a system using Evernote that helps me do just that. A skill that’s poised to become the competitive advantage of the 21st century: filtering information. So when we dismiss memorizing information, we can only confidently do that when we practice another skill instead. But how many of those are successful? How many are just follow-ups to previous, failed searches? It’s not just that the explosion of data is incomprehensible, we also have to learn an entirely new language: the language of search engines. That’s 26 for every person on the planet. Google counts almost 200 billion searches each month. Clearly, this sea is not easy to navigate. In 2017 alone, we created more information than in the 5,000 years of human history leading up to 2015. That’s $125 million worth of external hard drives.
